SAD-IRON SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 642,613, dated February 6, 1900.

Application filed June 26, 1899.

To all whont it nasty concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD KLINGENBERG, J12, acitizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Iron Supports, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to devices for supporting sadirons, and is particularly adapted for supporting irons while being heated over a gas, gasolene, or oil stove.

The main object of my invention is to provide a protecting-plate between the under surface of the iron and the flame, and thereby prevent the abrasion of said surface and prevent as much as possible the formation of soot or like deposits on said surface.

A further object of my invention is to make the parts separable, providing an outer ring, which may be used for supporting pots or kettles slightly above the surface of the stove when desirable. I

I accomplish these objects by the construction shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan of a sad-iron supporter constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line 00 w of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is the same View with the plates removed. Fig. 4 is a section of the upper plate on said line 00 m Fig. 5 is a top plan of the lower plate.

The parts are all preferably-made of cast metal.

The ring 1 has therein the lugs 2, having shoulders 3 at their lower part. The lower plate 4 is made to fit within said ring and provided with recesses 5, fitting the'upper parts of the lugs 2 and permitting said plate to pass down and rest upon the shoulders 3. In the form shown the plate is made double, being cut away at 6, this device being designed for heating and protecting two sad-irons. The plate 4 is preferably reinforced at 7 for strengthening the material. The upper plate 8 is made to fit within said ring and rest upon the tops of the lugs 2. Lugs 14 are provided on the under surface of said plate, being arranged to extend downwardly on each side of the upper narrow part of the lugs 2,whereby said upper plate is held in proper position Serial No. 721.855. (N0 model.)

relative to said lower plate. The openings 9 in said plate 8 are designed to register substantially with the under surface of the sadirons. At one end of each opening 9 is an upwardly-projecting lug 10 for limiting the forward movement of the iron. Upwardlyprojecting lugs 11 are preferably provided at the edges of said openings 9 for supporting the irons slightly above the surface of the plate.

12 represents the recess-for the stove-hook for lifting said plate from the ring. The ring is preferably provided with openings 13 for ventilation.

\Vhen the parts are properly connected, the openings 9 will be protected by the plate 4,

which lies in a plane slightly lower than the' plate 8. The flame from the heater will act directly upon the plate 4, thus protecting the under surface of the iron, the heat passing around and over said plate 4 to the iron.

It is plain that the openings 9 may be made of any desirable shape for irons of difierent form and that the minor details of construc tion of my device may be altered in numer ous ways without departing from the spirit of my invention. I therefore do not confine myself to such details.

What I claim asjmy invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A sad-iron support comprising an upper plate having an opening therein of slightly less diameter than the under surface of the sad-iron,a member provided with a depending flange or projection for supporting said plate, and a lower plate secured in a plane below said upper plate and shielding said opening, and having free passages at the sides and above said lower plate, communicating with said opening, substantially as described.

2. A sad-iron support comprising a ring having therein a series of seats for removably supporting an upper and a lower plate, the upper plate with the opening therein, of slightly less diameter than the under surface of the sad-iron, and the lower plate arranged to protect said opening, and having free passages around and over its sides, communicating with said opening, substantially as de scribed.

3. A sad-iron support comprising the ring 1, having recesses 13, inner lugs 2, and shoulders 3, the lower plate 4 having the recesses 5, and the upper plate 8 having lugs 14, and openings 9, protected by said lower plate, substantially as described.

4. Asad-iron support comprising a supporting ring or rim, the plate 8 having an opening 9 therein, the plate 4 so located as to leave the free spaces between its sides and the rim, and shoulders on said rim for removably supporting said plates with a free IO space between same, substantially as described.

Signed by me at Chicago, Illinois, this 24th day of June, 1899.
